MY husband and I have been off facebook for a couple years now. The main we got off is because we both did not use it in a manner that respectful to our marriage. We were having serious issues then. Everything is good now.

Since we have moved, I have lost touch with family and now I thinking of getting it back. I would prefer we have a joint account, that way no exes would try to contact us and everything would transparent.

I do not want any issues. My husband said he didn't want one, but I could get one if I wanted. I told him, I didn't want one with out him. He said that was fine.

What do you think? Joint account cheesy or smart?

Ridiculous really.

If he doesn't want one fine. If you want one then get one. Not sure why it has to be a joint account. You are your own person.

Super cheesy. I always feel sorry for the husbands on those because it’s usually the woman’s idea. It means either he has NO interest in social media or, as in your case, she wants to keep tabs on his online activities.

It's like a neon sign, spotlighting to everyone "We have trust issues!!!"

If he definitely does not want to get back on, I would just open the account for yourself.

You admitted that you have issues of trust in your marriage, so in this case, I think you should either make a joint account or not make an account at all.

I see them and I'm neutral- my son's in-laws have a joint FB account; so do a retired priest and his wife whom I know. Both couples, as far as I know, are good people in healthy marriages. I suppose it's also protection against the women getting "friend" requests from predatory types. I have my own account (I'm widowed) and occasionally I get Friend requests from impossibly gorgeous younger men or messages from someone who cloned the account of one of my Church Lady friends, telling me they won some big jackpot and my name was on the winner's list, too. All I have to do is text my info to....

Whatever works for the two of you.

Yeah I don't really care of people have a joint account. It doesn't effect me one way or another. I do know that I won't be telling the joint account anything personal about myself.

why would you say that? I look at it more as a trust building move-at least that was the intent

Just get your own account and give him the login info.

Then he can read your DMs or whatever the problem is without going through the public humiliation of a joint account.
